    What is Biden supposed to do about the Supreme Court except nominate new justices? The problem is that you need Congress to do something.

    • Lets here what he proposes as a solution. Its his answer to have not mine, and as President, he sure as fucking shit better have a plan, or he’s not qualified for the job. The argument here is in support of debates. Without debates, we don’t get answers to these kinds of questions.

      I sure as shit want to know what Biden’s plan is to deal with a congress that wont play ball. He needs to have one.

        It isn’t his job, unless you make the Supreme Court a Presidential appointment alone and that they can fire justices on their own whim.

        The power to deal with a corrupt Supreme Court has been clearly vested in Congress, not the President.

          It sure as fuck is the Presidents job to navigate the halls of power and deliver on things they campaign on.

            To a point, but the President has not been given the power to be a dictator.

            If the President’s agenda doesn’t get past Congress, what is the President supposed to do? Do you expect the President to start arresting members of Congress until the Presidents’ bills get passed?

            • To a point, but the President has not been given the power to be a dictator.

              No one is asking them to be, but if you don’t understand that the ability to get an agenda past Congress is there job, I don’t know what to tell you. The job of a President isn’t to accept defeat for their constituents, is to find a way through.

                That isn’t the President’s job to wrangle Congress. Perception over time has made people think that, but the Presidency was never set to lead the legislative branch. If that were the case, the President would be more like a Prime Minister in other countries.
